SS Lazio

Lazio would've perhaps loved to daunt arch-rivals Roma scudetto ambitions by not giving 100% against Inter. But all speculations have to be put aside due to the existing danger of relegation hanging over Rome based club.

Lazio did make a massive step away from the Serie B zone with last week's victory on the road against Genoa. L'Aquila won 1-2 through goals from defender Dias and striker Floccari.

After the match against Inter Lazio have a trip to Livorno and the show-down home fixture vs. Udinese. A more or less favorable
schedule. Due to Reja's men instability, I doubt, they will ignore the opportunity to indemnify themselves from relegation worries.

The hosts have a handful of unavailable players with head coach Reja heading the list alongside suspended defensive
midfielder Ledezma. Stendardo, Meghni,Manfredini,Matuzalem and Bizzari are all injured.

Inter Milano

Flagman of all italian football - Inter Milano - travels to Rome in vibrant mood after the historical triumph against Barcelona in the Champions League semifinal. The Special One should be feeling ever so Special again - his Speciality is getting global. As one columnist wrote: "Bayern's win in the CL final is necessary in order to save our houses from Mourinho".

The game in Rome is certainly going to be a real psychological test for Inter. Looking at the schedule, it becomes obvious that the match vs. Lazio is arguably the last thing which stands in Inter's path to Scudetto. Nerrazurri then welcome Chievo in Milan on the 9th of May and travel to pitiful Siena on the closing day of the Italian season.

Mourinho has no injury or suspension concerns.

Betting advice

It will be quite symbolical for Inter to make a big step towards the championship title in Rome.

Mourinho is experienced enough to keep his players under control and not let them get carried away by euphoria of CL success.

I am expecting Inter to seize the opportunity and claim the title de-facto.
